Before I make my amends too quickly,
I have to go away where it is quiet and
I'm alone to think about the part I played
in an argument or discusion that may
have gotten out of hand.
Make a list, pray on it asking for forgiveness,
strength and guidance in making an amend.
There's always 2 sides to a story.
I have to make sure I apologize for
my part and in the learning process
we learn how not to do it again, say
something wrong, hurtful or disrespectful.
Sometimes it takes time for lessons
to be learned on our part but eventually
we will know when to walk away just
so we don't have to return to make amends
on our part.
I'll apologize if I'm wrong and
try not to repeat. Lesson learned.
